    Who would you prefer to see win on Saturday, Oleksandr Usyk or Anthony Joshua?

    I'll be rooting for Oleksandr Usyk.

    I rooted for Usyk in the first fight as the underdog, now that he won I don’t really care either way who wins the rematch

    I expect Usyk to win, but if AJ pulls off the upset, cool, good for him

    Rooted for Usyk in the first fight but I don't care who wins this one as long as it's not controversial

    Usyk is far more likeable than the media puppet money man. I will be rooting for him and he will most certainly do Joshua like he’s never been done before.

    Most of all I want a conclusive win for either guy. Apart from that it would be nice to see Joshua get redemption. Like both guys, but think Joshua gets an unfair amount of stick. He might not be an ATG in the making, but he takes on the best challenges and turns up in shape. Those are the main things I want to see from a fighter. No claiming he's the best ever and then retiring when a real challenge is around the corner...

    Best of luck to both fighters and hopefully we have a clean fight with a clear winner and no controversy. I said Usyk would be too much for him in the first fight and I also think it will be the same for the rematch . My pick has to be Usyk as he’s unbeaten not fake nor a hyped up media darling .

    Joshua has fought two 50-50’s in his entire career. Old, inactive Klitschko coming off a loss, in London, and Usyk.

    His record is paper thin.

    Is he medicating for his bipolar disorder, is it diagnosed by a physician or just some media schtick? Anyhow, you can be bipolar without being a twat.

    Sure, odds statements come out of AJ as well, but there's never a doubt that he goes after the biggest challenges and gets in shape for them. No bs like retiring and unretiring all the time. I do think Fury will face the winner of Usyk-AJ, though. but if he doesn't he's a lot of talk but running scare when it gets down to it. I prefer AJ, who despite the odd stupid thing doesn't talk half as much shite as Fury and never leaves you in any doubt if he will go after the biggest prizes.
